Maybe it's because I work for a Bank, we have about 300 people in IT

-50/50 on the database teams are women.
-About 80% of IT management roles are women.
-I would say the "grunt workers" (server, node, printer, router repair and installations) are 90% men. We have a couple women down south. .
-Application support is about 60/40, women
-Vendors all seem to all be men.
-IT security is about 50/50
-Programmers all seem to be men. I can't think of a single woman on those teams.
-Help desk about about 23-24 people there, say 9 women. But all managers there are women (3). No male managers at help desk or our testing labs.

When I worked for Geek Squad we had ONE women in the entire district who was a "tech" (although there were women working for Geek Squad) and she was good! I learned a lot from her.

Anyhow, any specific reason ya ask?

We have 6 ladies, 4 of them are engineers and one of them is MCSE 2003 and pretty good with most things windows. I dont like to point out differences because I could be viewed as being sexist...........................but the girls help a lot with their organisation/tidying and labeling!

These are slightly rounded approximations:

Database: 20% Female/80% Male
GIS: 70% Female/30% Male
Programmers: 70% Female/30% Male
IT Support/Security: 0% Female/100% male

Database/IT are primarily men, while our GIS Technicians/Programmers are primarily women. Overall there a lot more women working here than men.

maybe the reason why there are no women in my department is because is strictly networking cisco. There are a lot of of CCNP and 1 CCIE out here. I haven't seen a lot of women going the cisco route.

So I take that as they aren't a big help on the technical side

That's just so men feel needed

Or maybe it's because back when IT involved crawling around the floor and under desks, the guys wanted to .....

Personally I'd like to see more women in IT. Conversing with a woman as opposed to an overweight, slick-haired, @sshole with broken english and no sense of personal hygiene would be a welcome change.

Plus, I'm all about the sexual tension in the office. I love it. The receptionist totally wants me, homie.

Women in IT department are not computer related? I made this thread to find if the more women are getting into IT and you want to tell me that it is not related to computers?
chill out man and just reason

Quite a few...

The other admin I work with is smoking hot and pretty good at her job (she is my backup). Makes for a pretty funny work day when you see people hitting on her all the time.

We have loads of chicks and they are all hot *shrug*

1..... But nothing special....... So make that 0......

Whenever I go out to implement stuff I always make sure to flirt and have a tease with the hotties situated out at our clients which more than makes up for the lack of hotties in my department......
